Gear
The 5 equipment slots, 6 rarities, set bonuses, gem sockets and Resonance — what to chase and why, verified in-game.
Every character wears 5 gear slots, and each piece comes in one of 6 qualities (White → Red). Quality is the single biggest lever: it sets how many substats a piece can roll — White rolls none, Purple rolls 3, and Orange and up roll the full 4 with the best value ranges. After that it's a long upgrade grind (to +250) paid in ore, plus 28 sets (2- and 4-piece bonuses), 8 gem types to socket, and Resonance (a rolling +20% stat bonus as your whole loadout levels). Chase quality first, then upgrade, set-match and socket. Browse every piece in the Equipment database, and see exactly what those substats do in the Combat stats guide.
Quality decides how many substats you get
Two pieces of the same type are not equal — higher quality unlocks more substat lines and a higher roll ceiling. This is why a Purple weapon can lose to an upgraded one of the same name at a higher quality. Read the ladder before you pour materials into a piece.

Purple3substatsroll ×0.8–1
Orange4substatsroll ×0.8–1.15
Gold4substatsroll ×0.8–1.25
Red4substatsroll ×0.8–1.25The roll multiplier (the ×0.7–1.25 band) is how good each line lands: a White piece tops out at ×0.8 of base, a Red piece reaches ×1.25. So top quality is both more lines and better lines — it compounds.
The five gear slots
A full set is five pieces. They share the same quality ladder and upgrade economy, so the rules above and below apply to every slot equally.
Upgrading: a long ore grind to +250
Every piece levels with the same three materials. Early levels are cheap; the cost ramps hard, so spread upgrades across the piece you actually keep rather than maxing throwaways. Where each material comes from is broken down in the Currencies & materials guide. Exact costs, accurate to the live game:

Prioritise your main DPS piece.

Equipment belongs to sets. Wearing pieces from the same set unlocks a bonus at 2 pieces and a stronger one at 4 pieces — so a clean 4-piece is usually worth more than five mismatched higher-quality pieces. There are 28 sets in the game, covering offense (extra damage / crit), defense (shields, damage reduction) and utility lines.
The 28 set names and exact effect values are still localized to the game's source language — we won't machine-translate them here. The full set table (names + 2/4-piece values) lands in the next pass; the system above is verified against the game's own values.
360 gems across 8 star types
On top of its own stats, gear can be socketed with gems. There are 8 gem types (the eight Ziwei “stars”), each adding a different stat line, and lower gems merge upward into stronger ones. Build a matching gem theme on the loadout you keep — it's free stats the moment a piece is locked in.
The 360 individual gems and their exact values are localized to the game's source language — we won't machine-translate them. The structure (8 types, merge-to-upgrade, socketed into the five pieces) is verified against the game's own values.
Resonance: +20% rotating stats as your gear levels
Resonance rewards levelling your whole loadout, not just one piece. Every 5 gear levels it grants a flat +20% to a rotating stat — HP → ATK → DEF → SPD — and keeps cycling all the way up (240 steps in the game). It's a strong reason to keep every slot levelled evenly rather than dumping everything into one piece.
FAQ
Should I upgrade a low-quality piece?
Only as a stopgap. A White or Blue piece is capped at 0.8–0.9 rolls and 0–1–2 substats, so investment is wasted the moment you find the same slot at Purple+. Upgrade lightly, replace when you can.
What quality should I aim for?
Orange or above — that's where you get the full 4 substats. Above that, Gold and Red keep the 4 substats but push the roll ceiling to ×1.25, so they're upgrades, not new mechanics.
Is a 4-piece set worth breaking my best stats?
Usually yes. The 4-piece bonus is a flat set effect on top of your stats; five mismatched pieces give you nothing from sets. Match a set first, then optimise substats within it.
How far can I upgrade a piece?
To +250. Costs scale steeply (a single piece to max totals millions of ore), so this is a long-term sink for your endgame loadout, not something to rush on early gear.
